Cox Communications announce new high-speed internet service

GAINESVILLE, Fla. Cox Communications has announced a new high-speed internet service.

‘Gigablast’ has speeds of one gigabit per second and can stream more than 25 high-definition videos simultaneously and download a high-definition movie in less than 60 seconds.

Gigabit internet is a technical term for faster-than-usual internet.

“The demand is there so we’re trying to stay ahead of technology and stay ahead of the demand and offer whatever speeds or whatever packages a customer might need,” Public Affairs Manager Cam Johnson said.

Gigablast is available if you live within the cox service area in Gainesville.

Cox Communications hopes most of their customers across the country have Gigablast available by the end of 2019.
